UNSPSC 50346400: Frozen rose hips

The type of fruit known as rose hips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346400 Frozen rose hips, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name specifies a single frozen fruit commodity, yet the recent opportunities posted under it encompass broad grocery and food service procurement—complete food supply contracts for state hospitals, school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional institutions spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and consumables. State and local buyers posting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts (Hancock County Georgia, Early County Georgia, Henry County Georgia, Bulloch County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, City Schools of Decatur Georgia, Rockwood School District Missouri, Hillsborough County Florida), county corrections (Santa Clara County California), child care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and other public health and human services entities. The mismatch suggests the code is either a catch-all placeholder within procurement systems or has been applied inconsistently across jurisdictions; activity centers on full-scope food service and nutrition program replenishment rather than frozen rose hips procurement.

Geographic activity spans Texas (HHSC statewide facilities, Head Start Dallas), Georgia (multiple school districts including state-wide cooperative buying through GEC and Douglas County systems), Florida (Hillsborough County schools), Missouri (Rockwood), and California (Santa Clara County corrections), with school nutrition programs representing the largest segment of recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, prior-year baseline $32,226.36), the City of Bridgeport IFB BID052266 for school lunch program grocery items (1,100+ line items, bids due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products for child care ($969,460.94 estimated value, sealed bids due June 24, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools ($9 million estimated annual spend, sealed proposals due February 18, 2026). The code shows steady activity but poor specificity; pursue only if your firm's capability spans full food service distribution and can absorb the ambiguity of posting under a single-commodity code.
